Optimism , pessimism , normalism ??…what the heck…

Here , it is now confirmed that , bush is dead….this is the link -> bush is dead

On clicking that link, different people react to it , differently…

A psycho-analyst would want to make a study on it. On calling the psycho-analyst in me , He decided to break up the expected reactions..And he also wanted to, well …name and describe them , in english. These words, though refuse to express what he wanted to , he chose to use them. After all , what is a thought if it is not expressable. And what is language , if it cannot do just this job. But what the heck, The motif of this blog is itself an abstraction.. It is rather just an eagerness to convert this abstraction into an understanding… Or maybe it is just an effort to mar the abstration of an idea to bring out the clarity.

In general , though one may argue about “mental block” , I dont think , mapping bush to the US president is any block at all. After all , to not think it is George whaterver Bush , One has to either ignorant of the presidents of the US or , must be a botanist. In case of the former , it is very apparent that , there is just one bush you know, and that is what you think it is. And in the latter , because you tend to use “bush” in a biological study , quite too often , that is context you get reminded of. I very strongly believe (and it is nothing to do with the psycho analyst part of me ) that “the thing between your temples ” is a query-able database of information , indexed for faster retrieval , using nature’s own algorithm. And if it does not behave this way, then indeed , something is going wrong somewhere. You better dont make efforts to subdue that indexing mechanism. Thinking plain and straight helps in many ways. After all , I believe , holding an idea as complex is just one of the means to satisfying one’s ego , and an effort to understanding it , while still retaining it’s complexity , is , to further satisfy ego.

I am not the first one originating the “bush is dead ” thing. I got it as a mail. And I got the dead bush with it. But then , when I saw the pic , I just refused to accept that I have just been fooled. The obvious reply back to the originator (or maybe the transmitter ) was ” dude , there is a limit , and this is it “.

Now that I got convinced I was poignant enough with him, I saw through the mail again. And it did strike me from “outta the blue”. From being poignant , I slipped into introspection. A trance I must say. And in about a coupla seconds. I understood whatever I had to and I was back to normalism. It just so conveyed the message. And this blog is all it’s consequence. It is just so surprising , how quickly you get certain conceptions , that you never thought , even existed.

So , if for a split second , You clicked on that link with curiosity or eagerness , or with both, then begin believing that you are only being your normal self. Do not look the live bushes around, and try to teach your inner self to be optimistic. Do not pessimistically look at the dead bush , and get disappointed that , someone whom you wanted to be dead, is not. Just get back to normalism.
